Publisher's Synopsis
In PLACES & STORIES, Bill Bridges turns his poet's/journalist's eye on scenes ranging from Venice to Machu Picchu to the Time Out Bar in Van Buren, Indiana. He also ranges in time, describing his search for echoes of the Yukon gold rush and for "lost villages and ghost towns" in rural Indiana. And the short stories at the back of the book end with a slightly eerie futuristic twist.
